Good, that's what it always was.
Less hypocrisy

president epstein, trying to do anything to not talk about himself. constant threat of tariffs since hes been doing for a while isnt working, he moved onto the troops in LA strategy, followed by faking "health issues", and insulting people. hes going to keep recycling this until people get tired of it go back to talking about the files.

Not even the nazis renamed the Wehrmacht to Angriffsmacht

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 38 points 4 hours ago

Department of Distraction from Child Rape Allegations.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 3 hours ago

lovd it, so catchy

[-] axx@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 hours ago

The president of peace and all that.

We all agree this is just distraction and the arbitrary nonsense is really the point: "we make up what is true" is what they are trying to show.

[-] blaze@programming.dev 19 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

They missed a great chance to pull directly out of 1984 and call it the Ministry of Peace.

[-] febra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.

[-] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

That's great. Thanks. I hate it. Now release the Epstein files.

[-] pheggs@feddit.org 4 points 4 hours ago

What's actually his idea behind that?

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 16 points 6 hours ago

I mean, that's definitely a more honest name, how much of what they do is actually "defense" vs just imperialism

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 68 points 8 hours ago

Lmfao finally something I'm glad he's doing!

The name change was fucking psychological manipulation for the population. You can't argue against defense department spending as easily as you can argue against war department spending.

Bring it on! Make our jobs easier you bumbling brainrotted doughnut dictator.

[-] ronigami@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Truly a broken clock.

[-] SidTheShuckle 13 points 6 hours ago

Well at least it isnt dogwhistled any longer :/

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 6 points 5 hours ago

It's more like a dog trumpet these days

[-] aeternum 14 points 7 hours ago

The should make the treasury dept the dept of making rich cunts richer

[-] Jakule17@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Dep of health > Dep of pestilence

Dep of Agriculture > Dep of Hunger

Dep of ? > Dep of Death

[-] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 7 points 7 hours ago

Department of Health -> Department of Death

Department of Agriculture -> Department of Famine

Center for Disease Control -> Department of Pestilence

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

Center for Pestilence, or CP. Oh, wait...

[-] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 40 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I seriously think that Trump is the singularity of what should be known as a Stupidity Hole. Seriously. Think about it. Information goes in and never sees light again. No data, written or spoken is ever allowed to leave once absorbed. And once the info reaches the Epstein Radius, It is unable to escape its doom, and is pulled slowly towards the center where it will be broken down into unintelligible sounds that resemble that of grunts and gremlinesque slobbering.

And the more information he consumes the larger his radius. As a child, his stupidity only influenced small things. Like, toys and his hands. As his gelatinous body grew, so too did the mass of his dumb.

Think Florida man just happened? Fuck no! That shit was Mar a Lago. The circumference of dumb envelopes Florida in its entirety and is now what’s known as a “lost cause.”

[-] StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago

Wasn't that what it was called originally?

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 hours ago
[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

We're regressing, it should be named the Department of Conflict-as-a-service.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 183 points 13 hours ago

Really doubling down on that, "he actually is the antichrist" thing.

[-] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 81 points 13 hours ago

They have think-tanks dedicated to coming up with the worst decisions possible, for real.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 33 points 12 hours ago

I don't doubt it, Trump is a Russian Psyop placed in power with the singular goal of incapacitating the United States by sowing chaos.

I mean, it’s a more honest name at least.

[-] dnick@sh.itjust.works 67 points 12 hours ago

Makes that 'are we the baddies?' a whole lot easier to answer.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 49 points 11 hours ago

And this fucker wants a Nobel Peace Prize? smh.

[-] Bot@sub.community 2 points 5 hours ago

Department of Halo

[-] West_of_West@piefed.social 6 points 8 hours ago

It'd be the department if peace if he was leaning into the 1984 thing

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

That would require reading. Trump doesn't do that.

[-] crandlecan@mander.xyz 116 points 14 hours ago

Onion?

checks community name...

Sigh...

[-] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 97 points 13 hours ago

Might as well. It was originally called that, and the DoD name was always kind of a lame coat of off-white landlord paint.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 66 points 13 hours ago

Yeah but it's the death of a euphemism. It was good that they had to use a euphemism.
